In Brief. nj to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and woa.
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order. q.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-Noh happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

Narrow Escape Of Mrs. Billings.

About this time of year people are
having high times on the ocean
beaches bathing in the breakers, and
many ludicrous things occur. At H.
waco's North beach last Sunday q
large number of Portland people
strulled along the sands just as Mrs.
Il. took q souse up and down-she
was not an expert swimmer-and 1t
was noticed that surrounding her the
water took on varied colors.
"The dye is coming ont of that
gown" said one.
Il should say so.' screamed an
other; "why, she'll dye us all"
"Never say. dye" said third ;
rather, will she the 'multitudinOus
seas incarnadine.
But here she stopped, for ne'of
the red splashes landed on her white
suit, and ii was seen that figure had
come off intact. --'
"Why Mrs. Billings" some one
cried, "those patterns were just stuck

De Witt DE Wolf ran up to the bath

cents to the men, and poor Mrs Bill

the water as soon as she could. Gobs
of that Japanese dress were washed
ashore. and most everyone had little
red and green gorsted ball that came
off the scallops 10 keep as a souvenir
of the event. The Japanese stuff
was made of paper, it seems, and be-

Point was totally destroyed 10y fire.
There was no one in the house at the
time but his aged mother, 73 years
old, and while endeavoring to save
some property she was fearfully
burned. She was brought TO the
hospital here and everything possible
done TO alleviate her sufferings, but
to no purpose. and yesterday death
came to her relief. The funeral will
be at Clatsop tomorrow.
Beside the house and its contents
S2,400, the savings of ten years, was

Canada, and had been a resident oi

There is a mail contractor in Pa
cific county named H. w. Warren.
who, from all accounts, is either un-
able or unwilling to fill his contracts.
The result is that Shoalwater bay is,
practically, without proper mail ia
eilities. There has been trouble
there for over two years about mail,
it affects Astoria business interests
and should be attended to. The fact
that Warren is a political protege OF
the postmaster generals should have
nothing to do with it. He should be
made do what he agreed to do or turn
the contract over to some one that
can carry the mail.

from habitud constipation as from

HOME HINTS.

If the bottom crust of fruit pies, or any
other Juicy kind, is rubbed over with
beaten egg it will not be soggy.
If the lampwick is turned down below
the top of the tube, when not lighted, no
oil will run over ON the outside of the
lamp. a
To clean steel ornaments, dip small
brush into some paraffine oil and then into
some emery powder, such as is used in the
knife machines, and brush well the orna-
ments and all the rust will soon come off;
polish with a dry leather and buster.
Should the eye or any other part be
black ened by fall or blow, apply cloth
wrung out of very warm water and renew
it until the pain ceases. The moisture and
heat liquefy the blood and sent it back to
its proper channel. Never use cold water
to bruise.
To wash anything made of knitting silk
dissolve a moderate quantity of white
CASTLE soap in warm water. Squeeze the
articles through the water, never rub until
they look clean, rinse in clear cold water
and Icy in coarse towel. Roll the towel
up with the articles inside, and twist until
they are nearly dry; stretch in shape and
leave for short time in dark room. Take
soft piece of flannel and run in one direc-
ton until dry. Never use an iron.
The old-fashioned slippers, worked in
wool and silk on canvas, are coming in
again, but they are improved upon in the
designs Tulips and other flowers are
worked in embroidery stitch, the ground
only in cross-stitch. Griffins and heraldic
devices, as well as crests, are also placed on
the 'front.' while some of the ground works
are shot with silver. Quite the newest
have large pieces of plush tied on the can
vas, forming parts of the pattern.
Tea is unquestionably the drink for the
brain-worker. 1t is more refreshing,
more restorative, more portable, less
heating, more easily made, and
Brillat-Savarian is correct in affirm
ing that man would grow mad who
drank one liter of strong coffee every day
for three months contiuuously-it has the
Recommendation of being less deleterious.
This is, perhaps, not the opinion of the
coffee merchants, who are lamenting
over their dwindling trade. Nor, We
may well believe, has England
taken to tea and cocoa in preference to
coffee merely out of regard for the public
health Fashion, taste and convenience
must be reckcned among the causes that
account fer the change.

MOTBER'S DEATH DAY.

The effacing touch of time is slowly wearing
Earth's barriers away;
Seasons of joy, and days OF dark despairing,
Alike dawn and decay.
The martyrs day is that when he assembled
HeayenwaTd, from rack and flame;
Not when to earth, by loving hands befriended,
y wailing babe he came
And this, thy birthday to the Land immortal,
| celebrate in song;
Day OF glad entrance to LIES golden portal,
o mother missed so long!
Many the days since that bright Sabbath dawn
ing,
That brought to thee release.
Scattered, Worldwide, the friends who watched
that morning,
Thine eyelids close, in peace.
The time is long, and yet the promise nearer,
Than when we first believed
Through heightened vista, grows the vision
clearer.
shall not be deceived,
l shall awake some morning, and behold thee
With glad and sweet surprise,
Thine arms again in tender clasp will fold me,
At home in Paradise
Sweet faces lost from earth will meet my vision,
Their dear eyes on me shine;
And yet the first, in all the land elysian,
Glad hand clasp, will be thine
Shall we forget His love- amid the glory?
A mother may forget?
But the glad seal unto the old old story"
Eternity will set. ALICE LoCKsLEY.
